Earlier this month, the U.N. Security Council passed harsh sanctions on Kim's small nation, as it continued to fire threatening missile tests and claim the expansion of its nuclear arsenal.

The sanctions ban 90 percent of North Korean exports and were approved by Russia and China, who had previously maintained closer ties to North Korea.

Kim did not mention the sanctions. Yet the speech, which was approximately 500 words when translated to English, refers to Trump multiple times as a “dotard” — an arcane word for an elderly person who is weak minded or senile.

“I will surely and definitely tame the mentally deranged U.S. dotard with fire,” the despotic leader concluded.
